Lowered Utility Assessment May Aid Consumers
Denver AI Gov Steve McNichols said he expected a reduction in public utility tax assessments by the State tax Commission to reflect lower valuations and improve rates for utility consumers. Ralph Gortan, PGC member, agreed the tax savings could reduce overhead for utilities, benefiting consumers, though each case would depend on profit on investment. The May 14 commission minutes show this action. two years ago utility taxes were based on 50 percent valuation, then lowered to 40 percent with a 37.5 percent rate. Extended expansions may offset tax cuts. John R. Seaman chaired the commission and noted the cut was designed to rationalize taxes among classifications. The average statewide property tax valuation stands at about 28 percent of actual sale value per a Legislative Council study. A. A. Hall opposed the cut at the Board of Equalization meeting in September.

Names of the dead were Ingar Wester, August Zuckal, Einar Johnson, and Rags Rudy Anderson, all listed as Iron River, Caspian, Crystal Falls, and Tron River residents.

Food Costs Up and Farmer Pay Down Returns to Farmers
Washington reports show retail food costs rose about 20 percent over the last decade while prices paid to farmers fell around 8 percent. A House Agriculture Committee analysis frames the widening gap between consumer prices and farmer receipts, noting that food remains cheaper relative to earnings than at any prior time. The 1947-40 period data indicate total retail food expenditure near 16.0 billion dollars, with most of the increase absorbed by processors and middlemen.
